Welcome to episode 8 of The Penis Project Podcast, this is the place to come to find out everything you've always wanted to know about men's health but were too embarrassed to ask. This month is Movember which is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health issues in men. The Movember Foundation runs the Movember charity event, housed at https://au.movember.com, which originated in Australia in 2004 and is now a global entity. Today we hear Percy’s story. Percy was diagnosed with prostate cancer 2 years after his father. He did not take the diagnosis seriously to begin with and waited 6 months before seeing the urologist, however 3 years down the track he is going well and is 90% back to pretreatment functionality. Sadly it is a different story for his father. This episode is a reminder that early detection and treatment are the key to good outcomes. The Penis Project is sponsored by PROST!
